As for me, I kind of have to buy one. A Vita will help me get some work and I need to keep current. That said, Sound Shapes is the only Vita game I’m truly jazzed about. I’m sure there will be plenty of Vita games that I’ll end up loving, but I’m not getting the “Must! Have! Now!” feeling I usually get when a new system launches. Part of it is that the portable landscape has changed dramatically thanks to iOS. Part of it is that I’m more excited for the iPad 3, which should be out in March.

I would be way more interested in buying a 3DS since it has more games I want to play on that system. The only Vita games I would be interested in playing would be Crisis Core (if I can even play Crisis Core on it) and whatever God of War game that comes out for it.

I'm intrigued by the new Uncharted game. I need more than that though to buy it. Maybe later.

I pre-ordered the Vita and Uncharted, which I will be picking up on launch day. I figure that being an early adopter has its own ups and downs, but remember how the PSP-1000 was easiest to homebrew? That's my personal major reason. I figure hacking it will not take much effort, as it will be the first version.
